Hidromek’s HMK640WL has attracted international attention after being awarded global design awards including the Reddot Award, German Design Award, Good Design and Automotive Brand Contest.

The HMK640WL has an operating weight of 26.3 tonnes and is powered by a Mercedes 324hp (242kW) and 1,600Nm torque engine.

It provides the operator with high loading capacity, low fuel consumption and short cycle times, says Hidromek distributer Onetrak. The machine can be fitted with a 4.2–5 cubic metre bucket.

Some of the key features from an operating perspective include heated air-suspension seat, climate controlled air-conditioned cabin, advanced 5.7-inch colour LCD display, colour reverse camera, tilting telescopic steering column, adjustable wrist rests, front sunshade and six front/ four rear LED working lights.

The 35-degree tilting cabin provides easy access for maintenance and serviceability, adds the company.

“We have run demonstrations in sand quarries, rock quarries and general loading applications. The unit is strong and performs well with good customer feedback”, national sales manager Onetrak Nick O’Brien says.

Barfold Quarry in Victoria purchased a Hidromek wheel loader last year.

“We had the wheel loader on a demo for a few days, so I had the opportunity to spend some time in it and get a feel for it before making a decision. I believe the machine is equal or better than some of the major brands. We were very satisfied with the performance and the machine ticked all the boxes for us,” managing director of Barfold Quarry Sam Trovatello says.

Onetrak is currently offering guaranteed trade-back on all new Hidromek machine purchases. To find out more or to request a demo visit www.onetrak.com.au.
